2.04.080 Supervisors’ benefits.

County supervisors shall receive benefits as follows:

A. Life insurance coverage in the face amount of $50,000, the premium for which shall be paid by the County;

B. The County shall pay for the health insurance for each supervisor, including as applicable, his or her dependents, up to the maximum amount as established in the most recently adopted memorandum of understanding with the Miscellaneous/Clerical Employees bargaining unit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the supervisor is enrolled in a health insurance plan at a cost that is less than the maximum amount, the County shall pay only the cost of such insurance. The supervisor’s share of health insurance shall, where applicable, be withheld by the County from each supervisor’s paycheck, in equal amounts from the first two paychecks in any month.

Any supervisors having insurance from another source which meets the minimum insurance provisions that are otherwise required to be provided by an employer under the Affordable Care Act and any implementing regulations so that the County will not be subject to any penalties or taxes due to such employees not having acceptable health insurance may receive one-half of the maximum County contribution then in effect, as additional compensation per month. In any case in which a supervisor declines coverage per the above policy, a certificate to that effect may be required by County on a form to be provided, stating that the supervisor has one of the alternative forms of health insurance coverage, per above, and providing such proof of coverage as is reasonably necessary to verify that it complies with this provision.

C. Retirement benefits for County Supervisors through the Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) shall be provided in the same form as provided to all County employees. The County shall pay one-half of the supervisors’ (employee’s) portion of the payment to PERS based on the compensation to each supervisor as set forth in SCC 2.04.070. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any provision of state law, including without limitation the provisions of AB 340 (from the 2012 legislative session) requires any elected official be deemed to be a new employee requiring full payment of the employee’s contribution to PERS, then such provisions shall prevail over the provisions of this subsection.

D. Health insurance retirement benefits in the same form as provided to nonclassified County employees as set forth in the most recently adopted MOU with the department managers.
